Less Filling Foods

Wow totally forgot about this portion of my website where I list foods with a low fullness factor, or foods that are high in calories that don’t make me full. I’ll try to update this category more often and I’ll start with this update of my favorite less filling foods. I was just reminded about it today via a comment.

Low Fillness Factor BagelLow Filling Foods:

  1. Bagels – Cinnamon raisin bagels are my favorite. They go great with peanut butter. I personally can eat two of these bagels pretty easily for breakfast and have never found them that filling for some reason. The calorie break down is pretty high. 2 Bagels = 500 Calories. 4 Tbsp of Peanut Butter = 400 Calories. Add a glass of whole milk for 300 more calories and you’ve got a really nice 1200 calorie breakfast. A great way to start out the weight gaining day.
  2. Steak – Steak is loaded with protein and almost no carbohydrates, little fat as well. This definitely wont help you gain fat weight, however it WILL help you gain heaps of muscle mass. A 1lb steak can have 80 grams of protein in it. You’d have to drink a gigantic thick and gross shake to get that many normally. Best of all I have no problem getting a 1.25lb steak down. Red meat always seems to be less filling that many other foods.
  3. Hot Dogs – Did you know 1 hot dog (+ bun) can have 300 easy calories in it. Eat two of these to get 600 calories, drink some milk and you’ve got an easy 900 calorie lunch. 2 hotdogs used to fill me, but after some stomach stretching I easily got to a point where I could eat 3 and sometimes 4 in one meal
  4. Burger King Buck Double

    The Buck Double at Burger King. Just one of these bad boys has 750 calories in it. Its pretty easy to eat two of these plus a drink giving you close to 1800 calories in one sitting. Only costs $2.00 too

Things I stay away from:

  1. Pizza… For some reason I have trouble eating more than 3 slices of pizza before feeling bloated and nasty. Plus its hard to drink milk with pizza cause they just don’t go well together. Pizza actually doesn’t have very many calories in it for how full it can make you feel (unless you are one of those crazy guys that can down an entire pizza on your own).
  2. Chicken Nuggets (like McDonnalds). These have a high fullness factor while having relatively low amount of calories. 600 calories of McNuggets completely fills me, where I could have over 1000 if I got burgers instead.
